February 25, 2009 - The home of Kenny and Karen Harwood and family, 101 Broad Street in Kennard, was destroyed following an early afternoon fire on Sunday that took firefighters from seven area departments several hours to bring under control.

The Harwood family lost everything in the fire. Some friends have helped to temporarily relocate the family to another Kennard home, but that home is empty of all furnishings, as it has been vacant for some time. The family is in need of any donations of clothes, home furnishings, etc. Kennard town officials will be setting up a donation area this week at town hall to collect items and/or monetary donations.

If you would like to donate something to help the Harwood family but would rather not leave your donation at the town hall, please contact Jacob Brown at the Kennard Friends Church at 765-781-0085.
